If you would be interested in getting a review of an economic situation similar to the current economic crisis in the USA and the world markets, here's an idea. Try what J. Vernon Magee used to say before each session of his through-the-Bible radio broadcasts: "Let's take a look into the Old Book!"
It is interesting to me to read what our friend the Prophet Ezekiel had to say on the Lord's behalf, especially when read in a modern translation like The Message. Take a look at Ezekiel 7, and find some statements like the following: "the end of business as usual", "the country is bankrupt because of its sins, and it's not going to get any better", "the bottom has dropped out of buying and selling". It makes we wonder: if the results sound the same, could the cause be the same?
Ezekiel had more to say, and if you'd like to stay on the web to find it, you can search on http://www.lifeway.com/ , http://www.biblegateway.com/ , or http://www.crosswalk.com/ . You can look for Ezekiel 7, or any other passage you'd like to reference, just by entering it into the search box. Maybe there's something more going on in the economy than boards, billions, hearings and investigations can actually fix!!
